re: Please review the new public draft of WCAG 2.0

Great idea Jan. If is not possible to add this, simply wcag wg can evalutate to put a sentence like this one: 
Accessible content creation could be supported if the authors use authoring tool that create wcag-conform contents. Please refer to ATAG for requirements and for more information.

    Oggetto: re: Please review the new public draft of WCAG 2.0
    
    
    Hi,
    
    I've taken a look through WCAG from an ATAG perspective and it looks 
    very good. I really only saw a couple things to comment on:
    
    1. Still no mention of ATAG in WCAG
    
    Therefore I think AUWG should decide on some and propose it to the 
    WCAG-GL. I'd like to kick it off with this:
    
    Authoring Tools (New heading right after "Audience" in Introduction)
    
    A large proportion of Web content is created using authoring tool 
    software. By making authoring decisions directly or framing choices to 
    the author, these tools exercise a great deal of control of the nature 
    of the web content they produce. While it is recommended that all 
    authors become familiar with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, 
    it is understood that widespread conformance to the guidelines will 
    depend on the degree to which authoring tools support and encourage 
    authoring practices that result in conformant content.
    
    Developers of authoring tools can help to make their tools more 
    WCAG-aware by adhering to the requirements of the W3C-WAI Authoring Tool 
    Accessibility Guidelines [ATAG], for which implementation techniques are 
    also available.
    
    User and purchasers of authoring tools are encouraged to make 
    conformance to W3C-WAI Authoring Tool Accessibility Guidelines [ATAG] a 
    factor when selecting tools.
    
    2. The second issue is the definition of "extreme changes in context". 
    This isn't very clear.

    If anyone else has spotted something, please send it to the list so we 
    can send the comments on to the WCAG-GL.
